Pete Rose graces latest Sports Illustrated cover

Yes, you guessed it. The man appearing on the cover (seen above) is none other than Cincinnati native and all-time hit king Pete Rose.

Inside the magazine readers will find an excerpt from the upcoming release of Kostya Kennedy's biography on Rose entitled "Pete Rose: An American Dilemma." In the book, Kennedy provides an in-depth look on Rose's fascinating life, which includes his lifetime ban from baseball due to gambling. Kennedy compares Rose's ban to the rash of PED use in baseball and whether the Reds legend belongs in the Hall of Fame.
